So, today my dog found a cigarette butt at the corner of our garden, which is in our backyard. Why is this weird and creepy? Because we live beside a far with a field in between us that people never really go in, neighbor to the side that aren't even close to the garden, and our horse pasture to our other side. We have fairly large front and back yard, too. Neither my family nor the close neighbors smoke, the farm people don't either because of religion. So, there is a random cigarette butt in our yard when none of us smoke. My mom also said that at random times outside, usually when it's evening, she could smell cigarette smoke. Sometimes I take a walks around my yard at dusk before everyone goes to bed because I like the dark. Now, when I do this, I take my machete with me, simply because I've always been very paranoid, and a mask, again paranoia.(like who's gonna wanna mess with a person in a mask with a machete?) Anyway, I'v heard noises coming from the pasture sometimes in the tall weeds. I can tell you right now that it is definitely not deer as they never go near the pasture, and if it was my cats they would come when I called. Dog stays in the house most of the time, too, especially when I'm outside on my little night walks. My mom has a theory that someone, possibly our other neighbors down below who do smoke, are coming up and actually walking around our yard at night. The people down there are pretty creepy, too, and that's coming from me, the Queen of Creepy. It's just really weird and strange to think about someone walking around your yard at night, especially when there's a whole horse pasture in between you.

I think it's probably someone who wants to smoke without having their whearabouts known? (i.e. maybe a teenager whose parents don't know they smoke)... That, or it's someone who doesn't want to smoke around people. I smoke ocassionally and honestly I try to find places where there's not a lot of people lol... It's pretty gross and can be really inconsiderate in some situations? So yeah

Doubtful though. We live in the country with only a few houses around, and the...stranger neighbors are the most likely culprits here, but it's kind of scary because the guy, their son, is like two years older than me and he shoots squirrels and birds for fun and does other drugs...he's just not a nice guy either and has physically hurt me when we were kids before, for fun. So yeah.

Are his parents decent? If you're pretty sure, maybe your parents could talk to his (if they're not horrible)? He obviously shouldn't be leaving cigarette butts on your property, and it might be illegal.

It's very close to the barn full of hay, so it's a problem for sure, and it is trespassing. His parents are decent most of the he time, but if you ask them to do something, they usually ignore you and keep doing it anyway, so I don't think it'll help much. The father burned trash on the very edge of our property before. We asked him to stop but he kept doing it... My mom just decided to take one for DNA evidence if she finds another butt in the yard because it's happened more than once apparently, and she wants it in case the barn catches fire.
